General Building
Most of what we do doesn't have a grand label. It's a garage that needs converting into a proper room. A bathroom that's twenty years old and needs a full refurbishment. A chimney breast that's coming out to free up floor space. Structural cracks that need investigating and repairing before they get worse. This is the bread and butter of building work — and it's just as important to get right as the bigger projects. Garage conversions are one of the most popular jobs we carry out in Worthing and across West Sussex. A properly converted garage — insulated, plastered, heated and with proper electrics — adds usable square footage to your home without planning complications. Bathroom refurbishments range from a simple suite swap to a full-on redesign with new layout, wet room, underfloor heating and tiling throughout. Chimney breast removal is a structural job that requires careful propping and a structural engineer's specification — something we handle from start to finish. Damp proofing and tanking work is often needed in older properties in coastal areas like Worthing, where ground moisture and salt air can take their toll. All of this work is carried out by the same experienced team that handles our loft conversions and extensions. Our Gas Safe plumbers handle all bathroom plumbing connections. Our NICEIC-certified electricians deal with any electrical work. Brickwork, blockwork, plastering and rendering are done by our own tradesmen — not subcontracted out to whoever's available. Samuels has been a familiar name in Worthing for over 70 years. We're trusted with general building work because people know that a family business with that kind of history isn't going to cut corners. If you've got a building job that doesn't fit neatly into a box, give us a call — we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
